asciilifeform always wondered whether this and similar publishers, printed such marvels as 'course of cryptography' where caesar's cipher was presented as state of art, or the various 'wonderful explosives in kitchen' schemes ~guaranteed to homogenize the experimenter , at usg behest, or via the ample ameri-supply of naturally occurring idjicy

asciilifeform: collection says moar about ameritard audience than about any given subj. there were half a dozen tomes on e.g. summoning devils, cultivation of opium, etc. for erry 1 that contained ~reality-applicable trivia

mp_en_viaje: and for the hebrew speaking club, here's a little chortle : what's a mishmishtara ?

bvt: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-29#1939005 << i can see the point of 'only man can be caring' in that letter, but tbh the 'cunts/prostate' one totally elides me.

mp_en_viaje: item is just one of the lulziest bits of a huge bundle of historical evidence deeply inconvenient to the pantsuit socialists, because it quite clearly proves hitler's purported antisemitism as not merely a received idea, which didn't belong to him personally anymore than the notion that the string "sun" is how you describe the closest star belongs to you,

mp_en_viaje: which... i mean, for most of the 90s the koreans deeply believed that if one goes to sleep with a working fan in the room, the mechanical movement will somehow magically "suck the oxygen out" of the room leading to asphyxia.

bvt: ah so, this is clear from the letter (and iirc you pointed it out in some of the trilema articles)

mp_en_viaje: this i think they mostly renouned meanwhile (or stopped admitting publicly, or whatever, people are weird), and it's obviously fallacious. nevertheless, at the time it was social consensus, and therefore a very flimsy basis for either diagnosing insanity or "evil" in believers.

mp_en_viaje: at the time hitler was a struggling painter / vagabond / corporal 1st class, this guy was an aristocratic military commander, deeply respected socially.

bvt: germans are taught nowadays that they were all victims of evil nazis, and imprison anyone who was close enough to KZs back in the day, but at least older generation would still tell stories about their fathers when drunk (i have only second-hand recollections though)

mp_en_viaje: it's not exactly clear to me what the fuck happened, to be honest. (then again i have a score of these wonderments, "why the hell did the sovok intelligentsia give up" was even aired a coupla times)

mp_en_viaje: but as factual matters : a) jews had lived for a long time in germany, and prospered there, and were throughout upstanding pillars of the community, unmistakably.

mp_en_viaje: b) at a personal and microsocial level, jews were very well inserted, and well respected. even the most rabid of the [retrospectively read as] "antisemites" of the period make distinctions (very much on the pattern of "all the cunts are whores except for mom" ; "all tjhe jews are vermin except for my bff shclomo")

mp_en_viaje: the very officers ranting about the evil jews wilfully respected jewish veterans, promoted jewish officers, threw a fit if they were sidelined and so the fuck on.

mp_en_viaje: c) the jews themselves are, obviously, as inconceivably stupid as always, i won't belabour the point of these morons, who finally got to make themselves a country and made it red-tape sovok socialism atop turkish legal system ffs.

mp_en_viaje: that joke about canada, re how it could've had british bureaucracy and french cuisine and ended up with british cuisine, french bureaucracy is exactly about israel.

mp_en_viaje: but it seems to the actually competent scholar self-obvious that there's equivocation in the source material : that the autors speak of "jews" in the general ~deliberately~ and ~awaredly of the fact~ that it's a pars pro toto deal and they're specifically exclusing some if not most.

mp_en_viaje: meanwhile the retards idly posing as scholars's naive read would readily decide "misogyny!!!" if applied to trilema.

mp_en_viaje: much like the ~same retard's "science" model produces golf clubs out of whatever you feed it.

mp_en_viaje: so what exactly happened, how the fuck did the ~extremely civilised~ germans, who if convened today would laugh with every hole at the "washington correspondent's dinner" FOR CAUSE, end up throwing stones at people's windows that they actually very much respected privately...

mp_en_viaje: or, for that matter, even seemingly simpler questions : why the fuck would a man who was ~faslely~ accused of THE BAD by some schmuckturds barely perceptible above that chick from fizesu' gherlii who also had prior fucked up his boss for marrying a whore -- seriously now, I THOUGHT THE

mp_en_viaje: Y WERE ALL WHORES. i thought this ~because you literally said so in writing holy shit what the fcuk~

mp_en_viaje: nevertheless opt to not bring the army out and clear them off, but instead retire. he's an army fucking officer, from the prussian school, since when the fuck he opts to ~run away leaving enemy in possession~ instead of deploying ~superior force~!

mp_en_viaje: 1938 okh'd have worn for cock ornaments goering an' his merry band of drunks and societal rejects inside the week, what the fuck were all these people thinking ?!

mp_en_viaje: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-29#1939063 << yup, entirely wouldn't change anything about it even today. .45 is perfectly fine for standard issue / crowd control, .50 in zirconium loadout is perfect for armored / hardened targets such as any moron self-centered enough to wear a vest, helicopters / "armored vehicles" in urban settings etc.

snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-29 19:19:26 asciilifeform: .45 is imho pretty good , of the historic calibers. usually subsonic right outta the box, even (i.e. silenceable)

mp_en_viaje disdains today as always disdained the negro / usigistani notions of "spray and pray" mac-10 is da shit nonsense.

mp_en_viaje: if you don't know who you're shooting at you don't have grounds to be shooting.

"you miss, see" "why the fuck are you shooting then ?!" "isn't that what you do ?" "yes dumbo, it's what i do. it's not what you do, get lost."

snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-29 19:22:28 BingoBoingo: The NATO caliber standarding also happened during that time where the soft-serve consensus was the next fight will be nuclear so its possible there wasn't much concern over small arm supremacy

asciilifeform: re that 'mac-10' ( famously rejected by army commission with phrase 'this would be great for warfare inside a phone booth' ) -- americans very fond in recent decades of 'picturesque', loud, but entire impractical small arms. iirc mp even wrote a piece on subj, along the lines of tlp's 'this is not to win, but to Feel Like A Trader'.

asciilifeform: see also this old thrd. consider the most popular piece, the m16 & variants. popular specifically because comes apart into two dozen parts, for each of which there are 'ricer' aftermarket 'shit bolted to side!111' replacements, for fiddlers to fiddle with.

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Lettuce not forget all of the non-standard caliber uppers available for M16/AR15 which will take it from .22 rimfire through some rimless straightwall .50 rounds with all manner of niche weird in between

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: probably one could write entire b00k on 'ricer hardware'. i.e. where enthusiast could (and often does) fill an entire lifetime of nights an' weekends with fiddling, and spend any amt of money, but will still end up with basically same thing, if 'heavy with shit stuck to the side'.

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: sorta how you can fiddle all you like with pc irons and will still end up with essentially same x86 box, with all the basic flaws, always

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: There seems to be a racket where a loading with get a weird ricer name like .50 BEOWOLF or .300 BLACKOUT get some USG test firings and go on to market the round as things normally get marketed to jugalos,etc based on edgy/cool name

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: folx who mainly use the thing to hang on wall, naturally dun care if a shell costs 10 $ ea. or is sold in just 1 place in alabama or whatnot

BingoBoingo: In that case why not SKS? Durable thing that required machining, but otherwise perfect conscript rifle

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: iirc some of these oddball calibres aint even made industrially , like normal people do, but instead turned on a lathe ~individually~ from larger shells

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: conscripts, see, will use what's issued to'em. and in usa, that's whatever pads pockets of whatever 'favourite son' contractor.

BingoBoingo suspects part of the reason it takes 250k+ rounds per us conscript kill is the magazines are too big. Fuck your supressing fire, make the first shot count!

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: 'teach'em to aim' went out of style in vietnam era. why, is a q for experts, i'll leave it alone

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: From the local news stories I read in old country police usually took what they were given or bought what they were told with money similarly given with strings

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: in washingtonistan, police usually has the plastic austrian 'glock' or similar.

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: re aiming, per reports from cousins and their spawn still taught to aim. Just once they go from basic skills to small unit tactics they are taught in practice one guy in squad with .30 rifle should aim while rest make noise

asciilifeform: ( funnily , it appears that the normal recruiting pool for police -- burned-out iraq vets -- has dried up. nao they have booths at public markets, fairs, 'join the police dept! medical & dental!' )

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: in sovok, recruits also ceremonially 'taught to aim'. given traditional 3 rounds / yr . ~same result.

asciilifeform pictures a fyootoor us army where 4 of 5 men in platoon can be gimps, and 'designated walksman' is the only 1 who's req'd to have working legs

BingoBoingo: Well standard setup seems to be 1 marksman, 1 autorifleman, maybe a mortarman, rest of squad on m-16 or other specialist support tole

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: they do! and, interestingly, army bases (already in early 2000s when asciilifeform worked inside 1) guarded ~100% by equiv. of mall cops, rather than uniformed folx (for whom they'd have to 'medical & dental'(tm)) , cheaper.

BingoBoingo: Meanwhile in an ongoing trend in local news, primary risk factor for getting mugged is swiftly becoming employment as police officer https://www.montevideo.com.uy/Noticias/Un-delincuente-murio-y-un-policia-fue-herido-en-intento-de-rapina-uc731278

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Nah, I mean Uruguay style. Count em as employed entrepreneurs and sole proprietors

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: is how asciilifeform was counted. and the other coolies. ~doubles the tax rate, and removes 'unemploy insurance' & other expenses for usg.

BingoBoingo: Charge em a fee to get their permit, count them as employed forever more without any particular follow up

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i expect at some pt police in usa will move to 'india' model, where fella is given a name tag and paid a coupla rupee / mo., and the rest he is expected to make up from bakshish and straight highway robbery

diana_coman: that much is true but this is not going to solve it; the raw log thing is fine and yes, on a per chan basis, one has to request from their own "latest index" to as much as it takes to end up with "nothing"

( where flash is white, gas is still pushing . is part of why folx even bother with long barrels. )

asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: there was a spiffy neutronographic (!) film study in '80s su to try an' determine ideal barrel. sadly cannot atm find on net

BingoBoingo: It's been a while since I dove into it, but iirc longer barrel also pushes towards pickiness about matching rifling twist to bullet weight

mp_en_viaje: im no gunsmith here. but from what i recall from my notes from however many years ago, maximizing bullet energy is never a first order concern.

asciilifeform: ( only w/ neutrons, can take xray-like photo of barrel, bullet, and powder and have'em all show contrast in same photo )

asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: very often folx dun give a damn re energy -- e.g. snub-nose revolver, or 'saw off', or traditional ru обрез , where compactness is king

mp_en_viaje: compactness, reliability, wear and tear minimization, bullet thumbling, all sorta this things

BingoBoingo: Well, wound channel is king. Only really gotta have enough energy to break rather than follow shoulderblade of male members of target species.

asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: '90s ru type flamethrower. the traditional kind wastes buncha fuel in flight .

asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: cant resist to ask : when you shot the 'eagle', what kinda loads didja use ? according to the nitpicky critics, it gets fouled quickly unless fed fmj

mp_en_viaje: you never use that thing like the "critics" use it. yes, sure, it fouls lots at the range.

asciilifeform: while we're 'but what are you doing with that 20,000×20,000 double-precision floating point matrix you say you need to invert _today_'(tm)(r) -- i still wonder why that reagan-era rocket pistol thing never took off. seems just about idea from this pov.

mp_en_viaje: nah. the french had them too, kept trying to use them. they're fucking ridiculous, can CATCH the damn "rocket" in hand / parasol before it gets far enough to accelerate enough.

snsabot: Logged on 2016-07-17 14:05:28 asciilifeform: for the record, the only direction with real promise in small arms field is 'gyrojet', where the rifled and tempered barrel is unnecessary, given a self-rotating projectile, small and quite easily-made rocket

mp_en_viaje: nobody cares it can punch holes in concrete 100m away if it can't punch through leaf 3 cm from muzzle

mp_en_viaje: anyway. short of outright maniacs a la http://trilema.com/2015/strategy-for-the-antisocial-struggle/ there's no known uses for "empty magazines through DE"

mp_en_viaje: and for THOSE people the solution is dufflebagfull of handguns, pick and choose.

asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: imho could have saved much weight / complexity in 'eagle' if it were bolt-operated. but tbf i never yet had to 'invert this matrix'

mp_en_viaje: i recall there were excellent reasons they didn;t do that, but i don;t now recall what.

snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-29 19:32:13 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: 'barrett' . (btw moar hits for ~this~ barrett than for the other barrett in ~all searchtrons, lol)

asciilifeform: dufflebagfull << sounds very 18th c, lol. a la blackbeard's 'brace o'pistols'...

mp_en_viaje: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-30#1939222 << yes, well, you'll pardon me if i do not necessarily believe the man.

snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-30 11:35:35 asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-30#1939138 << the key to the puzzler aint much of a seekrit. goebbels put it in plain text. j00z were picked as 'instigators of the war' and meat grinder ramped up in direct proportion to the obviousness of germany starting to lose. the chronology fits.

asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: the folx runnin' the ovens, if their depositions are to be believed, believed, tho.

BingoBoingo: Insular group fucking over members of the outgroup tends to draw aggro and ovens if done indiscriminately

mp_en_viaje: yes. but historically the folks running the ovens don;t tend to be the brightest. compare with the rwandan genocide actual ambulatory butchers, aslo beleived all sorta beleifs.

mp_en_viaje: i have nfi re that either, but it seems to me the driver there was this : some guys (not ONLY turks, various arabs) decided that the only way to one-up history is to END the supply of armenian harem slavegirls.

mp_en_viaje: much like demented shepherd might one day decide to EAT the herd, so that he's the last in the line to have eaten mutton. "fuck all the rest of ya"

mp_en_viaje: enough of this "thirteen generations ago lived the prettiest aysha, but now an even hotter one was born"

mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, a la historically recurrent "hey mr architect that's a great building. could you make a better one ?" "maybe" "hang him"

mp_en_viaje: (the kardashian-like armenian is relatively recent phenomenon, much like the orc egyptians)

asciilifeform: entirely possib. osman empire was in full bore 'apres moi le deluge' mode , then

BingoBoingo: Dispute isn't even over pay. It's a dispute over management's plan to stop inviting child/teen performers to sing during drawings.

BingoBoingo: Like the dispute Petrobras left over no involving pay, but management's ability to fire derps derping with loaded rifle in the workplace

BingoBoingo: USG also announced today they are opening a green card lottery round for the Uruguayos

mp_en_viaje has ran into oodlebunches of these "military" cunts, only overwhelmed demographically by waitresses and beauticians

mp_en_viaje: it's a safe army -> ccolege -> social worker sorta "careerwoman" path. will not starve.

mp_en_viaje: the gedbois usually end up in coward-lice afterwards instead of community fleas.

BingoBoingo: They also do that with the Airforce. Not so much with the Navy/Marines because hard to get social media access on the water.

mp_en_viaje: that's the sadness of it. even if they might've been worth enslaving as 16yos (on strict body considerations, obv nobody wants a 16yo brain), by the time they've chugged enough "chow" to take them to twenny-someting... it's mostly a lost battle.

mp_en_viaje: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-30#1939241 << the other problem with this "supressingfire" thing is that it... suppresses you, too.

snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-30 13:08:28 BingoBoingo: suspects part of the reason it takes 250k+ rounds per us conscript kill is the magazines are too big. Fuck your supressing fire, make the first shot count!

mp_en_viaje: it's like "suppressing talking". it ~might~ not let other party think ; but it sure as fuck doesn;t let YOU think at all!

BingoBoingo: Most recent counsin to enlist went Marines because that's what his dad did. In and out of special education alternative schools up until he signed the enlistment contract. Made it through basic/follow on training with honors. Presently hoping the don't keep him floating in boats half his contract like last counsin that went that route.

BingoBoingo: Turned out what the kid seems to have needed in his life was a higher quality of yelling.

mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, not much more than, my grandmother was school mistress, participated in 1950s ro campaign to likbez ("liquidate analphabetism"), various dudes begged to plox, can't just work the school fields in lieu of sit in class ? will fix fence ? door ? anything ?

mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, i find it beyond ridiculous that none of these motorcyclist shooters ever get shot at / chased.

mp_en_viaje: not necessarily by 15yo girls, but i deem it terrible policy to let anyone who ever took a potshot at you live.

mp_en_viaje: how the fuck hard can they be to find anyway, send the muscle out to break arms until they're found. experimentaly not that many arms need to thus break

BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: The shooting is a relatively new phenomenon the Uruguayos are still working on. It was only a few months ago that if one tries to hold up a small business the proprietor will shoot became the conventional wisdom here.

BingoBoingo: When I first arrived it was a great national tragedy that "El Kiki" shot and killed a cashier girl over ~2000 pesos. Action/Reaction are still working themselves out here now that the rediscovery of violence has hit the Uruguayos.

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: when was the most recent Officially registered duel in uruguayistan ?

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: They go off occasionally, usually in Ciudad Vieja near the bank central branches or along Avenida Italia

mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, the chrome blunderbusses were out there in like 2004, in costa rica, IN FRONT OF UNI CAMPUS

mp_en_viaje: i was like wtf, are you ppl nuts ? they were like... no ammo, no receiver part. just the barrel.

mp_en_viaje: but they had the white shirt / black "bulletproof" vest & baseball cap uniform.

mod6: Feels pretty good so far to be free of that. I don't think it's sunk in quite yet, but it will. :]
